A WOful Waste.
Boston Herald.

Boston Herald.
A Washington dispatch puts the amount
of trade dollars redeemed up II Friday
at 81 .243 200. and states that further
sum of S4O0. 900, recently imported from
China, awaits redemption in San Fran
cisco. This is pleasant reading for the
American taxpayer. At the current
price of silver the metal in atrade dollar
Is worth only - SO cents. Thus on each
coin redeemed at its face value the gov
eminent suffers loss of - 3-S cents.
To speak roundly. the II .uTy throws
away a silver quarter for every trade dol
lar that it takes in. On the S5.2i3 600
already redeemed there is loss ut
Sf.2111f9, and $400,O lust received
from China will add $91 $50 to the waste.
bringing the amount redeemed to -. 6i3.-
600 and the total of the loss to S1,31J.-
1893. When the trade dollar bill was be
fore Congress, the advocates of the prod
igal scheme set 5000. 600 as the limit
of the amount that would be sent to-
the treasury during the six months al
lowed for presentation. This limit is al
ready exceeded, and the term of relemp-
ton has still more than four months To-
run.
People do not realize what the waste
of public money really means. If they
did, they would be keenly resentful
of such squandering. 1t Is from their
pockets that the government gets all the
money that it spends, for, indeed. there
is no other source of supply. The more
the government takes. the less the people
have for their private expenditure and
savings. Statisticians estimate that in
this country. on the average, the value of
the product of each worker for gain Is
5000 a year. or 81 a day, reckoning 300
working days in the year. Ii follows
that for every 81 absorbed by the gov
eminent the labor of an American worker
for one day is confiscated, and for every
5000 officially squandered whole year :
work of one man is thrown away The
loss being spread over the nation escapes
notice. but it exist all the same. and IL
bears with full force upon the commm-
ity. The redemption of the trade dol
lars has already entailed upon the Amer
lean people a burden equal to the EN-
tire product of 2293 workers for a year.
and the end is not vet iii sight.

RICHMOND, Va. April 22.-An attempt
has recently been made by Gen. Badeau
to make it appear that Gen. Lee was de-
pendent for food upon the charity of the
Federal commissary at the close of the
war. Badeau says:

fully. then smiled. and assuming very

Indeed" continued the Governor, lit

Gen. Lees house were fille,i with barrels

been sent, because there was no other

Battle between Feathered SOngsters


Early risers yesterday morning wit

in the death of one of them. For some
time they occupied positions on the
neighboring buildings seeming to rival
with each other in pouring forth the
sweetest of melodies ON the morning air
and their hearers We're enthused with the
sweetness thereof. Suddenly with a
nervous trill of voice one of them made
an advance towards his adversary and
alighted on the horse rack between the
stores of DIR. Mays and Mrs. Bass, the
other uttered a derisive scream and flew
towards it; they came together with a
clash and closed upon each other, falling
To- the ground. The battle had opened in
earnest and the spectators enthusIams
brought out by the combined melody of
the sweet singers were horror stricken at
their endeavOrs to destroy one another.
Suddenly a desperate lunge was made,
the combatants We're a few feet in air.
